The reason I'm reluctant to go past what I've been saying concerning “fair and reasonable”, especially in Quebec, is that we're very careful to respect Quebec's wishes that we deal with the Province of Quebec and not directly with municipalities.
It's different from everywhere else in the country. In most of the country, when somebody has a problem, they phone up someone in our department and we see what we can do—see whether there are things we can do to help, or what can be done.
In Quebec's case, the reason I deal with the Quebec ministers and say to them.... I hear individual stories, mostly in the media, about people who have trouble in their project in a municipality, and I don't doubt that it's true, but I say to the province, being respectful of the province, “You are in charge; you have told us you don't want us to deal directly with the municipalities.” So we deal with the province—because that's the law. So I say to the province that they have to come back to us and give us the data—that they themselves have to, because they've made it quite clear that they don't want me dealing with Trois-Rivières directly. So I say to the province, “Come back with the details and just tell me.”
I don't know exactly why that's been a problem. I've been asking now since I became the minister for them to give us the detail, and so far we haven't received it. I get along well with all the ministers there and everything seems fine, yet the detail just isn't forthcoming.
